"Gov. Pillen allows activation of #Nebraska#NationalGuard for weekend protests
"The Nebraska National Guard will be deployed in advance of several planned protests in Nebraska this weekend.
"In an emergency proclamation issued Friday, Pillen said the protests across the state have the potential for a 'significant amount of criminal behavior.' "

Reuters images showed #Marines apprehending a #civilian, restraining his hands w/zip ties & then handing him over to civilians from #DHS.
Asked about the incident, US #military's Northern Command spox said active duty forces "may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances."
"Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual(s) can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel," a spox said.

The #disinformation also added to the confusion over what exactly was happening on the streets, which was portrayed in digital & #SocialMedia [& #RightWing news #media] through starkly divergent #ideological lenses. Many posts created the false impression that the entire city was engulfed in violence, when the few clashes were limited to only very small parts.

Misleading photos, videos & texts have spread widely on social #media as #protests against #immigration #raids unfolded in #LosAngeles, rehashing old conspiracy theories‘ to support #Trump’s actions.
The flood of falsehoods appears intended to stoke outrage toward #immigrants & #Democrats.

Celebrate Flag Day during the No Kings Protests June 14
June 14, 1777 was the day that the Stars and Stripes was adopted as the official flag of the USA. And in 1949, June 14 was designated as #FlagDay.
So as we exercise our #FirstAmendment right to #protest, we should also proudly wave the US flag. Because the US flag represents the ideals that we are fighting to uphold against the tyranny of Trump.

These are red state resisters in Provo, #Utah.
I've put up posters and handed out Know Your Rights materials in a blue city with a #MAGA minority and even that can get a little tense sometimes. They're doing it in a county Trump won by 40 points.
So they're getting creative.
Some of the biggest heroes of the resistance are out in small towns bravely changing minds.
At least some minds. They're dressing up as MAGA for the rest.
Well, the #PosseComitatusAct has officially been violated.
#NationalGuard troops have detained #civilians in #LAprotests, commander says
National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the #LosAngeles #protests over #immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to #LawEnforcement [the 30 second rule is only for food fools].

The latest deployments prompted a new wave of misleading images to spread—some purporting to show #Marines & the #military service’s weapons in action. One was a still from “Blue Thunder,” a 1983 action-thriller about a conspiracy to deprive residents of #LosAngeles of their civil rights. It features a climatic dogfight over the city’s downtown.

Darren L. Linvill, a researcher at Clemson University’s #Media Forensics Hub, said #conservatives online were “building up the riots in a performative way” to help bolster #Trump’s claims that #LosAngeles had been taken over by “violent, insurrectionist mobs.”
Linvill said the posts were also “a bit self-fulfilling.” “As they direct attention to it,” he said, “more #protesters will show up.”

The confrontation escalated on Monday as new #protests occurred & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth announced—on X—that he was mobilizing 700 #Marines from a base near #LosAngeles to guard federal bldgs. They are expected to join 2k members of the #California#NationalGuard whom #Trump ordered deployed without the authorization of the #state’s #governor, #GavinNewsom, who normally [legally] has command of the #troops.

There were numerous scenes of protesters throwing rocks or other objects at law enforcement officers & setting cars ablaze, including a number of self-driving #Waymo taxis. At the same time, false images spread to revive old #ConspiracyTheories that the #protests were a planned provocation, not a spontaneous response to the #immigration raids.
